Introduction
SUBSOL has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 642228
General problem
• Mismatch freshwater availability and demand
– Coastal areas worldwide: freshwater shortage and salinization!
• NL: especially irrigation water shortage
• NL: mismatch may increase
• Traditionally: expensive aboveground solutions (storage) or unsustainable solutions (desalination)

Introduction
SUBSOL has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 642228
Subsurface has advantages though…
• Large capacity, protection, not claiming aboveground surface area
• For example: groundwater abstractions and aquifer storage and recovery (ASR) via wells
• Ecosystem service

Subsurface Water Solutions (SWS)
SUBSOL has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 642228
Dedicated hydrogeological concepts to enlarge, protect, and abstract freshwater in the subsurface
SUBSOL objective: establish a market breakthrough of subsurface water solutions as robust,
effective, sustainable, and cost-efficient answers to the freshwater
challenges in coastal areas worldwide.

..and this is what we need for that: 1. Long term testing at the pilot reference site, to gain confidence in concept
and technique
2. A regional hydrological study, to predict full scale effects on nearby well fields
3. Support from all stakeholders, including authorities
4. Full scale technological design and business case

SUBSOL Market Replications
Objective: demonstrate the robustness of SWS and their
applicability under different environmental and societal
conditions
• different hydrogeological settings • for different end-users • under different policy and regulatory frameworks
This will increase confidence in the SWS, and will provide
important knowledge on its market potentials and
constraints.
